This collection was released in 2006, the band hasn’t been with Roadrunner Records for a long time, and wasn’t at the time of the release of this collection, it’s a pointless cash in, the record label shamelessly gathered up tracks by Spineshank, Sepultura, Type O Negative, Suffocation and Deicide …

It is hard to believe that this album was recorded back in 2000. It feels like I bought it only recently, even though, chronologically, it must have been sometime in 2002. Well, I remember how I was making a superficial assessment of this album at the time. At first …

R. Kelly
“Bad Man”
“Shaft”: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

“Dad, do you know Taylor Swift?”
Aaron Dessner was asked this question by his eight-year-old daughter. Through the mouth of a baby she spoke the truth, because that day a musician from The National recorded one of the songs on “folklore”. “No” - Dessner brazenly deceived the child. The release …

Banal pop music is an easy target even for the less than brilliant observers among us, and cultural satirists regularly jab at flash-in-the-pan musical phenomena. Is it always deserved? Or accurate? Or eerily prescient in terms of where such acts are headed in the mainstream musical landscape? Perhaps not. …

With “Still Life”, Opeth expanded on their musical musings by infusing a much more Progressive sound with Death Metal, Folk and minor Jazz infusions, throwing them in a blender and funneling the resulting substance through masterful musicianship and impeccable song writing. The end result is “Still Life”, Opeth’s fourth …

Dreams from The Corrs is awesome. The Corrs is at their most peak/popular during the late 1999s or early 2000s, I’m not so sure. In between those times, I was so heavily into buying their CD singles and albums.
Their songs are very Irish-influenced since they hail …

The Handshake is the penultimate song on MGMT’s second release, Oracular Spectacular. The start of this track is interesting in that it features a prominent and distinct piano opening which is a nice break from all of the synthesizers. The Handshake is similar to Pieces Of What in that …

The Rolling Stones are old. Some people say they were far too old to be playing at the Super Bowl a few years back. I say leave them alone. They have earned the right to age, they have put in their time as young people, but their music lives …
